Chapter 179 Dumplings
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Gu Xiao locked the door behind him, showing no signs of drunkenness.
Nan Zhiyi glared at him reproachfully, but he pulled her into his arms.
"Pretending to be drunk again..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was kissed.
He cupped her face and kissed her tenderly, from her brow to the tip of her nose, then gently rubbed her lower lip. Finally, his tongue, tinged with the taste of alcohol, pried open her teeth and entwined with hers, both tenderly and domineeringly.
a long time.
"I'm really drunk." He smiled, his forehead pressed against hers, his breath hot against her skin. "So drunk I just want to kiss you."
Nan Zhiyi's legs went weak from his kisses. She clutched his shirt and muttered, "You reek of alcohol... and you're being a pervert..."
Her hands honestly wrapped around his neck.
Gu Xiao picked Nan Zhiyi up and carried her in his arms, kissing her as he walked. The few steps from the door to the sofa were filled with kisses that made her ears burn.
As she sank into the sofa cushions, his hand protected the back of her head, while his other hand slipped under the hem of her sweater.
His lips slid from his cheek to his neck, lingering there, his tongue gently circling.
Nan Zhiyi couldn't help but let out a soft sob. She hurriedly bit her lip, but he chuckled and kissed the corner of her mouth: "Good girl."
"We'll talk about it tonight..." Her hand, which was soft and weak, pushed against his chest.
Gu Xiao buried his face in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath: "My wife is so good..."
His palms restlessly traced her waistline upwards.
During breastfeeding... her breasts were exceptionally full, and he couldn't help but knead them as soon as he held them.
Nan Zhiyi let out a soft gasp, feeling a small wet patch quickly spread across the front of her shirt.
"You jerk..." she pushed his chest in embarrassment and annoyance, "I need to take a shower..."
Gu Xiao propped herself up, her eyes glistening with tears under the light.
His eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to take another sip before standing up: "I'll get you some water."
"I'll go by myself!" She hurriedly pulled her clothes tighter and jumped off the sofa, but her legs were so weak that she staggered.
Gu Xiao lay back on the sofa, listening to the pattering water from the bathroom.
They are itching to make a move.
Just as Nan Zhiyi immersed herself in the hot water, she heard the doorknob turn.
Gu Xiao came in with clean pajamas, and she immediately shrank back into the water: "You! Get out!"
Instead, he walked closer, squatted down by the bathtub, and fiddled with the hot water: "Where haven't I seen it?" His fingers traced the red marks under her collarbone.
Nan Zhiyi splashed water on him, saying, "You big scoundrel, get out!"
Water splashed and soaked the front of his shirt.
Gu Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Did it get wet? We can wash it together then."
"No!" Nan Zhiyi hurriedly pressed against his chest, "Xiaoman will be coming to find us later..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xiao suddenly got up and left.
Nan Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had listened to her advice.
"You..." Nan Zhiyi hurriedly turned her face away, "Weren't you going to see Xiaoman?"
He stepped into the bathtub, water splashing all over the floor: "It's all arranged, Xiaoman and Xiaoliu will sleep together tonight."
Seeing her wide eyes, he smiled and leaned closer, "You weren't saying I'm a hooligan..."
Nan Zhiyi was held in his arms, her back pressed against his burning chest.
His hand glided underwater, and he whispered against her earlobe, "More comfortable than on the sofa..."
Nan Zhiyi was so shocked by his actions that she was speechless.
The water in the bathtub rippled outwards, and she bit her lip, afraid to make a sound, her fingers scratching red marks on his back.
Gu Xiao kissed her temple, his voice hoarse: "It's been so long since we've done this..."
He only carefully washed her hair when she was so tired that she could barely lift her eyelids.
The foam got on his eyelashes, and she couldn't help but chuckle. He caught her and teased her for a while.
It was late at night when I carried him back to bed.
He carefully dried her hair.
In her dazed state, Nan Zhiyi felt him kissing her earlobe again, and she mumbled "No more..." but he pulled her into his arms and stroked her gently.
Half-asleep, I heard him chuckle softly: "Xiaoman should be weaned..."
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Nan Zhiyi found herself naked and pressed against Gu Xiao's chest. He was propping his head up and looking at her, his fingers twirling a strand of her hair, his gaze so soft it could drown a person.
"What time is it..." She shrank deeper into the blankets. "Everyone's going to laugh at us."
Gu Xiao pulled her back: "Who cares about them? Lao Liu is playing in the snow with Xiao Man in the yard."
She gently struggled: "I still have to get up..."
"What's the rush? Isn't it nice to just the two of you?" He wrapped his arms around her waist and caressed her. "Why don't wean her these next few days? Have Aunt Wu make more baby food."
Nan Zhiyi recalled the absurdity of last night, her toes curling up and her face turning red: "Okay, anyway... there's not much left."
He chuckled softly, turned her over, and slid his kisses down her shoulder blades: "Then let me help you a bit more..."
By the time Nan Zhiyi and Gu Xiao had finished getting ready and came downstairs, it was nearly noon.
Downstairs, several children were playing happily, while my second and fourth brothers were sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
Standing in the entryway, holding Xiaoman, who was bundled up like a cotton ball, Aunt Wu scolded Gu Yan: "...What nonsense! How can such a small child be allowed to get cold buried in the snow?"
Xiaoman was happily chewing on her gloves in Wu Ma's arms. As soon as she saw her mother, she immediately pouted and whimpered, opening her little arms to hug her.
Nan Zhiyi took her son and tapped his nose: "Little drama queen, you can even change your expression! You were laughing so happily just now."
Gu Xiao glanced at Gu Yan: "Go and rest." Gu Yan felt like he had been granted a pardon and ran away faster than a rabbit.
As soon as Xiaoman was in her mother's arms, she snuggled against her chest. Nan Zhiyi quickly comforted her, "Are you hungry? How about some milk powder?"
Aunt Wu chimed in, "She just had formula; she's probably craving milk again."
Gu Xiao reached out and picked up his son, saying, "You spoil him." Xiao Man howled angrily as his father tucked him under his arm and led him to look at the sparrows outside the window.
Nan Zhiyi smiled at Wu Ma: "We're just about to wean him."
Although Aunt Wu believed that breast milk was good for the baby, she didn't try to dissuade her. She simply nodded and said, "Then I'll steam some egg custard for you later and chop some vegetables to mix in."
As she spoke, she headed towards the kitchen, and Nan Zhiyi followed.
For this large family, cooking every day is a huge undertaking, so the women took on the kitchen work.
The kitchen was steaming. Eldest sister-in-law Li Xiuqin was stir-frying vegetables, third sister-in-law Gu Min was tending the steamer, and second sister-in-law Zhang Xiufen was chopping minced meat.
"Fifth sister-in-law, you've come at the right time," the eldest sister-in-law said, stirring the cabbage in the pan. "Could you help me wash that basket of garlic sprouts?"
Just as Nan Zhiyi was about to help wash the vegetables, her third sister pushed her out, laughing, "There's no room in the kitchen. Besides, we're almost done with everything now; we can work together again this afternoon."
Nan Zhiyi readily agreed, "Okay, I'll help out and learn a thing or two."
At lunchtime, Xiaoman sat on the sofa while Wu Ma fed him a soft steamed egg custard mixed with finely minced chicken and carrot puree.
The little one's mouth was glistening with oil from eating, and he temporarily forgot about breastfeeding.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. After dinner, the women began preparing dumplings for the New Year's Eve feast. The kitchen prepared two kinds of fillings: cabbage and pork, and chives, eggs and shrimp.
